Mouse Gjd4 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Gjd4 Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Gjd4 knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Gjd4 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_153086 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000036855 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 18. 2 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TGA stop codon in exon 2 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000041007). Exon 1~2 will be selected as target site. Cas9 and gRNA will be co-injected into fertilized eggs for KO Mouse production. The pups will be genotyped by PCR followed by sequencing analysis. Note: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit accelerated muscle regeneration following BaCl2 injection. Exon 1 starts from about 0.09% of the coding region. Exon 1~2 covers 100.0% of the coding region. The size of effective KO region: ~2632 bp. The KO region does not have any other known gene.

  • Podocyte Specific Knockdown of Klf15 in Podocin-Cre Klf15flox/Flox Mice Was Confirmed
    SUPPLEMENTARY FIGURE LEGENDS Supplementary Figure 1: Podocyte specific knockdown of Klf15 in Podocin-Cre Klf15flox/flox mice was confirmed. (A) Primary glomerular epithelial cells (PGECs) were isolated from 12-week old Podocin-Cre Klf15flox/flox and Podocin-Cre Klf15+/+ mice and cultured at 37°C for 1 week. Real-time PCR was performed for Nephrin, Podocin, Synaptopodin, and Wt1 mRNA expression (n=6, ***p<0.001, Mann-Whitney test). (B) Real- time PCR was performed for Klf15 mRNA expression (n=6, *p<0.05, Mann-Whitney test). (C) Protein was also extracted and western blot analysis for Klf15 was performed. The representative blot of three independent experiments is shown in the top panel. The bottom panel shows the quantification of Klf15 by densitometry (n=3, *p<0.05, Mann-Whitney test). (D) Immunofluorescence staining for Klf15 and Wt1 was performed in 12-week old Podocin-Cre Klf15flox/flox and Podocin-Cre Klf15+/+ mice. Representative images from four mice in each group are shown in the left panel (X 20). Arrows show colocalization of Klf15 and Wt1. Arrowheads show a lack of colocalization. Asterisk demonstrates nonspecific Wt1 staining. “R” represents autofluorescence from RBCs. In the right panel, a total of 30 glomeruli were selected in each mouse and quantification of Klf15 staining in the podocytes was determined by the ratio of Klf15+ and Wt1+ cells to Wt1+ cells (n=6 mice, **p<0.01, unpaired t test). Supplementary Figure 2: LPS treated Podocin-Cre Klf15flox/flox mice exhibit a lack of recovery in proteinaceous casts and tubular dilatation after DEX administration.

AGRP neurons are a key hypothalamic population 23 that is activated during energy deficit and increases appetite and weight-gain. Cell type-specific 24 transcriptomics can be used to identify pathways that counteract weight-loss, and here we 25 report high-quality gene expression profiles of AGRP neurons from well-fed and food-deprived 26 young adult mice. For comparison, we also analyzed POMC neurons, an intermingled 27 population that suppresses appetite and body weight. We find that AGRP neurons are 28 considerably more sensitive to energy deficit than POMC neurons. Furthermore, we identify cell 29 type-specific pathways involving endoplasmic reticulum-stress, circadian signaling, ion 30 channels, neuropeptides, and receptors. Combined with methods to validate and manipulate 31 these pathways, this resource greatly expands molecular insight into neuronal regulation of 32 body weight, and may be useful for devising therapeutic strategies for obesity and eating 33 disorders.

    Mouse Gjd4 (NM_153086) cDNA/ORF clone Catalog Number: 741090-2 General Information Plasmid Resuspension protocol Gene Name: 1.Centrifuge at 5,000×g for 5 min. 2.Carefully open the tube and add 20 μl of sterile gap junction protein, delta 4 water to dissolve the DNA. 3.Close the tube and incubate for 10 minutes at Official Symbol: Gjd4 room temperature. 4.Briefly vortex the tube and then do a quick spin Organism: Mus musculus to concentrate the liquid at the bottom. Speed is RefSeq: NM_153086 less than 5000×g. 5.Store the plasmid at -20 ℃. Description The plasmid is ready for: Sequence Description: Restriction enzyme digestion; PCR amplification; Identical with the Gene Bank Ref. ID sequence. E. coli transformation; DNA sequencing Vector: pEXP-Entry E.coli strains for transformation (recommended but not limited): Note: using kanamycin at 25 ug/ml, higher concentration may lead to no bacteria clones. Most commercially available competent cells are appropriate for the plasmid, e.g. TOP10, DH5α and TOP10F´. Restriction Sites: SgfI + MluI Vector Information Shipping carrier: ORFs cloned in this vector will be expressed in Each tube contains approximately 5 μg - 10 μg of mammalian cellsas a tagged protein with the C- lyophilized plasmid. terminal Myc-FLAG tags. Such clones are the best for detection and Storage: purification of the transgene using anti-Myc or anti-FLAG antibodies. The lyophilized plasmid can be stored at ambient temperature for three months. Physical Map of pEXP-Entry: Quality control: The plasmid is confirmed by full-length sequencing with primers in the sequencing primer list.

  • An Investigation of the Properties and Functions of Connexins in the Mammalian Inner Ear
    An Investigation of the Properties and Functions of Connexins in the Mammalian Inner Ear John Joseph Kelly Ear Institute University College London A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2011 Declaration I, John Kelly, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information or assistance has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisors: Dr. Dan Jagger for your continued support, advice and patience throughout my Ph.D., and Prof. Andy Forge for all your help and guidance along the way. It’s been a privilege to have you both as my mentors. I’d also like to thank other members of the group: Regina, for your expertise and friendship and for helping me integrate into the lab with ease; Ruth, for your help and advice over the years; Graham for your expertise and recommendations of areas to explore in the UK (one day….), and Nicole, for your company both inside and outside of the lab, and for the fond memories of our road trip around southern California with Cassy. Lisa, I’ve had the pleasure of working with you in two different labs. Thank you for all your help and advice and for your infectious positivity! I would like to thank Dr. Sally Dawson for introducing me to the world of molecular biology and to both Sally and Dr. Jonathan Gale for the advice you have both given me. Emily, you’ve been a fantastic lab, desk and tea-break buddy.
